DICE Labs, which I originally suggested back in early 2008, is now an reality. Whilst I’ve been running a number of ‘not a service’ systems for a while, this puts them on an official footing, and lets a much wider set of folk play around with them than just the CO team. Lots of things that I built in the past that now run in production went through this ‘Not a Service’ phase, including bugzilla and the wiki. Jabber and iFile were also built as part of this process, but aren’t part of the DICE Labs launch offering as they’re in the process of graduating into fully fledged services of their own.
